Apparently borrowed from late Aramaic לית / 𐡋𐡀𐡉𐡕 (layt).^[1]

لَاتَ • (lāta)

1. (copulative, invariable, archaic) not to be
   • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 38:3:

     وَلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

     walāta ḥīna manāṣin

     while there is no time for escape

• This particle is scarcely used even in Classical Arabic, with only one Qur'anic example. Largely this limited use is due to its grammatical requirements; usage is restricted by three very specific rules:
  • It must only be found in front of a noun, never a verb or particle.
  • The noun being negated must be a noun of time; as an adverb it is placed in the accusative case in the same manner found with لَيْسَ (laysa).
  • The subject of the sentence must be omitted.

لات • (lât)

1. lout, hooligan

• لاتی (lâti)
